I am not a big fan of the yellow gold DJ. The white gold bezel TOG is stunning as is the bracelet with it. It is kind of sport, kind of dress, and I am going to have one someday over the rainbow. There is no "least liking" any of the kingly watches in the Submariner family or the SD world. Those are all just too nice to "like least" no matter which one you are looking at. And I have the LV and it excites me to look at it sometimes.

i agree with the TOG statements. I was thinking about getting a TOG because it appeals more to the "young" look... sporty esp with the red needle. Sea Dweller is just like a standard SS sub but - the cyclops and the LV shouldnt be on that list

Ditto for me, too. Besides, I have 2 TT DJs so I couldn't vote against those. The SD would be second on my list of least liked of that group. Can't stand the wimpy date window.

I own an SD and take offense to the narrow range of Rolex models in this poll.

So I'm entering my own independent vote.

I don't care much for the TT Blue Sub-Date.

Well, I must be honest but the TT Blue Sub is hideous. I have never liked the TT Sub with black dial and the blue is just not my cup of tea. I enjoy the photography seen of the TT Blue Sub but it just looks artificial.

Not a fan of two tone watches or any chronographs, just not my visual thing, so I wouldn't wear them. Straight gold is slightly nicer, but wouldn't wear diamonds, even if I could justify the cost.

Well the first real Submariner model 6204 was basically a TOG 6202
with a black bezel.So you could say that the TOG was the fore runner to the Rolex sports watches we all enjoy today.And with perhaps a bit of help and homage to Blancpains 50 fathoms.
